The launch of the 2026 Our World Awards was held recently, Ireland’s largest global citizenship education initiative, which is now calling on primary schools across Waterford to get involved.
At a time when headlines are dominated by conflict, climate stress, and inequality, Irish children are stepping forward with something different: empathy in action.

The Awards invite third to sixth class pupils nationwide to explore what it means to be a global citizen through creative projects.
With more than 540 schools taking part in 2024, this year’s programme is set to be even bigger. Winning entries will be showcased nationally in 2026, giving Irish children a platform to present their vision for a fairer, more connected world.
